Wow, I was blown away by Elton last night. Decided to go down and work the scalpers for a ticket. My friend Dr J (not the hoops star) managed to grab a couple from a scalper for way, way below face and got in for the opening tune. Bill Clinton introduced Elton. Elton was spectacular putting on a nearly 3 1/2 hour, 33 song show with no breaks. He didnt play Pinball Wizard which I was hoping for, but being an old EJ fan, he dusted off some "deep" tracks you dont get on radio and which he rarely performs. About 10 songs in Whoopi Goldberg and Robin Williams came out and brought out Bernie Taupin to lead the crowd in singing Happy Birthday to EJ. Elton's voice was excellent, his band included long time members Nigel Olsson on drums, Davey Johnstone on guitar, mandolin, banjos, Guy Babylon on keyboards, Bob Birch on Bass, cellist Martin Tillman, percussioist John Mahon.Here is the set list
